VOLUNTEER FROM AFAR

If you’re not in LA but want to help, there are many ways to contribute meaningfully from where you are. Here’s how to:

Tips shared by Juliet Diaz, comrade in New Jersey

  1. Contact Drop-Off Centers and Mutual Aid Groups
    Reach out to organizations/groups on the ground to ask what they need most. Think of skills or resources you can offer remotely, and let them know you’re available to help. This could range from donations to administrative support. Consider dedicating a few hours a day. (Ex: make phone calls and reply to voicemails from individuals seeking assistance, answer emails to lighten the load for the on-site volunteers)
  2. Share Resources and Spread Awareness
    Use your platform to amplify calls for donations, volunteer opportunities, or supply needs from verified LA-based mutual aid groups. Even if you can’t contribute financially, your reach can connect others to these vital efforts.
  3. Coordinate Supply Drives Locally
    Organize a supply drive in your area, focusing on items most needed in LA, such as non-perishable food, clothing, blankets, or hygiene products. Partner with local businesses or community centers to gather supplies, then arrange to ship them to LA-based organizations.
  4. Offer Virtual Support
    If you have specialized skills, such as graphic design, marketing, or administrative experience, reach out to mutual aid groups to see how you can assist. Many need help with creating flyers, managing social media, or organizing fundraising campaigns.Every small effort helps. Whether you’re volunteering your time, amplifying voices, or contributing funds, your support can create a ripple effect of positive change.

Volunteer Tips

  1. Be a self starter. No one knows what to do. Just get into someone's flow, help them, and figure it out from there.
  2. Bring your own sharpie & masking tape roll if you're going to a place that takes donations. They'll come in handy when labeling/packing up boxes.
  3. Learn the names of the volunteers working around you because clear communication is necessary. You might even make a new friend 🙂

Additional Support

We hope more people near and far wake up, take stock, take charge, and make change. It's abundantly clear elected officials and institutional powers cannot distribute the relief we need. We simply cannot afford to live individual lives anymore. It's time to shift how we operate as neighbors, friend circles, community networks, towns and cities, and build stronger communities. The climate crisis does not discriminate.

WE TAKE CARE OF US.
